One cold winter night, I discovered that the pilot flame in our boiler had gone out, leaving us without heat. With the help of our neighbor and a plumber, we were able to resolve the issue, but it got me thinking about the importance of maintenance and nurturing in relationships.
Just as the pilot flame needs to be relit to keep the heat flowing, our relationships require constant care and attention to thrive. Whether it’s through prayer or small gestures of love and appreciation, we must actively work to keep the flame alive.
Our connection with the divine is no different. By praying three times a day, we reaffirm our faith and acknowledge our dependence on a higher power. It’s a reminder that our lives are guided by something greater than ourselves.
So, as we go about our daily lives, let us remember to keep the pilot flame within us burning bright, nurturing our relationships with both loved ones and the divine. By doing so, we ensure that the warmth and light of our connections never fade away.
